I have same problems. Seems like the values are reported incorrectly,
especially if you are shooting through a tree or some obstruction.

Again....YUP, same here. I think the noise values appear every now and
then but they are normally reported at -95. I really doubt that is the
noise level. I have my cards flashed with 1.56 or something. I downloaded
it from Demarc or Mikrotik, I don't remember which.
I am also using the engenius cards.
